South Caterers

We run South Caterers out of our place in Shilpkutir Apartment in Chandlodia. It’s a bit of a tight squeeze sometimes, especially when we have big orders for the weekend. We started doing this because my mother was always the one people asked to cook for family weddings. Now it’s more of a full-time thing for us. Most mornings start very early, around four or five, depending on what needs to be delivered. The kitchen gets really hot and noisy with all the big pots and the stove going. We aren't a big company with trucks and fancy uniforms. Usually, it's just us and a few helpers we’ve known for years. We handle everything from the shopping at the market to packing the containers. Our address is near Mahashakti Appartment, and people often just drop by to talk about their events. We don't have a fancy office, so we usually sit in the living room and write everything down in a notebook. Sometimes the phone rings non-stop and it gets a bit stressful, but we manage. We’ve done small parties and some larger ones too, mostly around this side of town. It’s hard work, and our hands always smell like spices, but it’s what we do. We just focus on getting the food to the venue on time and making sure there’s enough for everyone who shows up. This business is basically our life and we take it one day at a time.
